After arriving in Langzhou, Lin Jinxiao's hesitant heart instantly settled down. After going to the Chang Mansion to pay homage to the old master and comfort his wife, he concentrated on staying in the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion and becoming a housekeeper.
In addition to personally feeding the two little ones every day, the rest is to carefully develop various recipes and take care of Chu Nanzhi's diet and daily life.
From the time she was pregnant to the time she gave birth, he couldn't be by her side most of the time. His only wish now was to make up for his previous debt to her.
The Double Ninth Festival is the last day of the three-day examination held by Langzhou Prefecture.
Under Gu Lei's call, scholars from all counties in Langzhou rushed to the state capital to take the exam. There were as many as 3,000 students taking the exam for the first time.
In the evening, Chu Nanzhi watched the students leaving the examination room, feeling indescribably happy.
Chunfeng returned to the mansion proudly and saw Lin Jinxiao holding little Ruigi and leading the quadruplets to greet him.
He was still wearing a kitchen apron around his waist, and he didn't look at all like an emperor's majesty.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but chuckle, hurriedly walked forward, took off his apron, and complained in a dumbfounded voice: "Look at you like this, if my ancestors knew about it, they would think it was because of my harsh treatment as a wife.
you."
Lin Jinxiao also looked helpless.
Other women's wives were willing to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, but his own wife was a different kind of person, so he couldn't trust his little ones to be cared for only by wet nurses.
Since the wife likes to be outside the house, she can only take care of the housework by herself.
While coaxing little Ruigi in his arms, he smiled bitterly and joked: "With such a capable wife, even if the imperial grandmother knew that her grandson was being treated harshly, she would not be biased towards me. I can only accept my fate, and so am I anyway."
Those who have had soft rice feel more at ease now that they are emperors."
Hearing this, the quadruplets couldn't stop having fun.
Haida, Tang Weiming and his son also covered their mouths and chuckled.
Seeing that he looked aggrieved and depressed, Chu Nan Zhizhi walked up to him and pinched his arm hard, and replied coquettishly: "It seems that the emperor has a lot of resentment towards me."
"The queen takes care of state affairs for me, how can I dare to complain."
Lin Jinxiao also leaned close to her ear and suddenly whispered: "However, the queen has been working very hard trying the cases for the past two years. When she has free time in the future, it is better to stay in the palace and try me properly. I have grievances."
Seeing that he suddenly became so unruly and showed no shame in front of the little ones, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but blush and pouted at him angrily: "I'm not afraid of teaching the little ones badly.
My dears, let them learn from you in the future, being so shameless."
"If they can find such a smart and capable wife like their father in the future, I would rather they learn to be bad."
Lin Jinxiao winked at her maliciously, showing an even more proud look.
"Greasy."
Chu Nanzhi was full of disgust at his words.
"Greasy?"
Lin Jinxiao frowned: "What is it?"
"I mean to compliment you."
Chu Nanzhi left him alone and led the little treasures towards the courtyard.
"Aniang, Aniang, my father personally cooked a lot of delicious food today, and they are all your favorites, Aniang."
Sanbaolin Ruichong pulled the hem of her clothes and called out happily.
Listening to the little guy's words, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but glance at the apron in his hand. Thinking of how considerate the little pretty boy was these days, warmth surged in his heart.
I thought that as the emperor, his personality would become more arrogant and unpredictable, and I would have to be more cautious, but I never thought that he would be more kind and approachable than before, just like an ordinary little old man. I couldn't help but sigh that I married him.
A good husband and father.
Turning his head and looking at the pretty girl who had followed him, Chu Nanzhi called with a smile: "Uncle Greasy, I'll add chicken drumsticks for you tonight."
"Uncle Greasy?"
Lin Jinxiao was confused when he heard this, and murmured to himself: "Praise me when you praise me, and you still call me uncle. Am I so old?"
But when I heard that the lady was going to add chicken drumsticks for myself, I followed her happily.
When they arrived at the living room, Liu Yun and the Chu sisters had already arranged for the servants to pass the dishes. Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, which was comparable to a Manchu-Han banquet, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but look at Lin Jinxiao in surprise and asked in disbelief: "This is all
Did you do it?"
Lin Jinxiao blinked arrogantly, and then replied calmly: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been suffering with my wife in Langzhou these days. My son-in-law specially cooked these meals today. Let's all have a good Double Ninth Festival."
Lin Jinhui was so greedy that her mouth watered. In the past few months, the late emperor had been mourned and Chang Lao had been assassinated. The house had been full of soup and water all day long. Now that she could finally eat such a rich delicacy, she was so happy that she couldn't stop praising: "
Brother Xiao is truly a model of virtue and virtue."
"Virtuous and virtuous?"
Lin Jinxiao once again showed a bitter look on his face. The compliments of the two sisters were really more powerful than the other.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but chuckle: "Your brother is not only virtuous and virtuous, but he is also smart and smart."
With cold eyes, Lin Jinxiao put a piece of fried farm meat directly to her mouth. He didn't dare to get angry in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he could only say, "Let's eat quickly."
After saying that, he kept putting vegetables into her bowl.
I looked at the dishes put into the bowl, shredded pork with green pepper, stir-fried pork belly with cucumber slices, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. These were not delicacies, but they were home-cooked dishes that I often made for my father and son in the village.
Tasting the taste, it's almost the same as what I made myself. This cooking skill is really perfect.
She still remembers the first time Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie grabbed food when they had a meal at home. The pretty boy was so aggrieved that he could only eat leftovers.
Thinking of this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh silently.
The two elders tried their best to train their favorite disciple to become a benevolent king, but in the end they made a mistake. Now he has been led astray and has become a good cook worthy of a big responsibility.
"You should also eat more."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a smile and personally picked up the dishes for the family one by one. He followed his words and echoed: "Eat quickly. Have a good holiday today. Now that the big event in Langzhou is over, I and you will rest for two more days."
Lang accompanied his father and mother back to his hometown in Luyan Port to pick up Shu Yang, bid farewell to his father and son in the evening, and went to Beijing early before winter, so as not to worry our ancestors."
Chu Wenbi was full of complaints about his son-in-law before, but these days when he saw how meticulously he took care of his daughter, the resentment in his heart had long since disappeared. He looked at the old woman with a smile and nodded happily: "It's all according to Da Zhi."
Seeing that the whole family was enjoying themselves, Chu Nanxiang was the only one who was unhappy. Chu Nanzhi immediately saw through her thoughts, and then added: "Erlang of the Yin family will also return to Beijing with us this time."
"real?"
After hearing what the eldest sister said, Chu Nanxiang immediately smiled and asked happily.
"certainly."
Chu Nanzhi grinned: "I don't know about your little thoughts, but Erlang is a person worthy of trust."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Yun and Chu Wenbi, and said sincerely: "My mother felt that this marriage was not a good match before. My father and mother should have seen clearly what Erlang did in Luyan Port in the past two years, and he will take care of me."
Ah Xiang, you should feel relieved."
"There's nothing wrong with it."
Lin Jinxiao scolded disapprovingly: "How could my aunt take advantage of that boy Erlang so easily? This time I must wait for Taiwei Yin to plead again and again before I hand over my aunt to his son."
Thinking of the hardships faced by the three sisters over the years, Lin Jinxiao was filled with emotion.
There are many powerful people in the capital. If I don't help my father-in-law, mother-in-law and their family to raise their social status, I will avoid being looked down upon again in the future.
